As night fell, at the other end of the True Gate of Kovagr City, stood a castle - under the sky that gradually turned into a dark blue, the castle's round tower became a black silhouette.

The castle gate was as quiet as usual, with only the sound of burning torches on the city wall and the footsteps of patrolling guards.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the guard standing at the door rubbed his hands and complained about the damn weather.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves in the distance broke the quiet atmosphere, and the guard looked nervously in the direction where the sound came from.

A black shadow gradually appeared at the end of the road in the distance. After a while, the black shadow arrived in front of the castle gate. The visitor was riding a black horse and dressed like a hunter.

Livia arrived in front of the castle, and before Anye could stop, she jumped off the horse and ran towards the castle gate.

The guard looked at the man running towards the door with blood all over his body, and raised the spear in his hand, pointing it at the running figure.

Seeing the guard raised his spear towards him, Livia stopped even though he was anxious. He looked at the guard with a serious expression and said anxiously, "I am a witcher recruited by the lord. I have urgent matters to see the lord and Lord Delon."

The guards looked at each other and were about to say something when a sturdy figure jumped down from the several-meter-high city wall. The sturdy figure smashed a hole in the ground, then stood up and walked quickly to Livia.

"What happened? Why did someone suddenly inform me that you found an important clue..." As he spoke, the figure was stunned when he saw Livia, who was covered in blood and looked very embarrassed.

“What’s going on? How did you get injured so badly? Where’s Diego?

You are under attack!

? "

Livia looked at the sturdy figure in front of her and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She forced herself to cheer up and said, "Delong, Diego and I found a clue about the possible hiding place of the Blood Mist Cult. Then we were attacked by two cultists on the way back. Diego is fighting with one of the cultists now. Send someone to support him!"

The burly man in front of him was Deron, who had rushed back to the castle after receiving the news from Diego. He had been waiting for the arrival of Livia and Diego in the castle with Lord Marco.

After waiting for most of the day, when night fell completely, Delong could no longer sit still. He suspected that something had happened on the road. After asking the lord for instructions, he took his captain to the top of the city wall and waited.

He had originally planned to wait for another half an hour. If the two did not show up, he would lead his men to search the entire city. Suddenly, a black spot appeared in his field of vision...

…Delon supported the weak Livia and shouted towards the city wall: “Jose!

Litno!

You take your team and quickly follow the path to the main gate of the castle to support Diego, hurry up!"

There was a response from the city wall, and within three minutes the castle gate opened, and twenty riders rushed out in the direction Livia came from.

Delon helped Livia walk towards the castle gate, and at the same time, he poured strength into the wound on Livia's chest, which had begun to bleed again.

"Your injuries are quite serious. You have only been in Kovagr for a short time and you have become like this."

Feeling the warmth coming from her chest, her body gradually regained some strength. Livia took out a parchment book from her arms and handed it to Delon as she walked towards the castle.

"Who knew your situation in Kovagr was so complicated? So many things happened in just a few days."

Delon laughed heartily, took the parchment book covered with dust and blood, looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Is this the evidence you collected?"

"Yes, this contains the food orders placed recently, including the order for Mamba Snake the day before I arrived. The information about where that batch of goods was sent was erased."

Delon nodded seriously, waved to a patrolling guard in the castle, handed the parchment book in his hand to him, and asked him to deliver it to the lord.

Delong helped Livia walk slowly to the stairs, and tilted his head to look at the pale Livia. "You go and have a rest first, and leave the rest to us."

Livia suddenly sobered up after hearing this, raised her head, and looked firmly into Delon's eyes, "No, I also want to participate in the next mission. I want to kill these cultists myself."

This time it was not just because of the system's mission. After personally experiencing the style and methods of this group of cultists, he was also a little angry at these cultists who treated human lives as worthless and had no bottom line.

Delon looked at Livia's determined eyes and sighed silently, "But I can't make the decision. It ultimately depends on the arrangements of the lord. Then I will take you to see the lord first and see what the lord says." Livia smiled and nodded when he heard this.

Delong reluctantly helped Livia walk upstairs.

…

Marco was in the study handling the affairs of the territory as usual, but when he was about to rest at dusk.

Suddenly, news came from Diego and Livia, the witcher who was suspected to be from an ancient family, saying that there was news about the Blood Mist Sect. Then Delon, who was searching outside, also rushed back to the castle and waited for the two to return in the study with him.

The wait lasted for more than half an hour, which made people wonder if something unexpected happened on the road. Delon anxiously asked him for permission to go to the city wall and wait. He just happened to have this intention, so he let Delon go.

Then, more than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. A guard came in with a book and said that he wanted to give me clues. Before I could turn a few pages, there was another knock on the door.

…

The knock on the door interrupted Marco's turning of the pages. Marco frowned in displeasure, "Who?"

"My Lord, I am Delon. Livia has something to add about the clues just now."

A familiar loud voice came from outside the door. Marco rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Deron walked in with someone. Marco looked at the person Deron was supporting with some seriousness, "Livia?"

Marco looked at Deron, "How did it become like this?"

Delon helped Livia to sit down with a serious look on his face, and then he said: "He and Diego were attacked by the rats of the Blood Mist Sect on the way back. It should be because of the contents of the parchment book."

"Where's Diego?"

Marco stood up.

"In order to protect Livia, he came back with clues to report the situation first, and stayed behind alone."

Looking at the nervous Marco, Deron added hastily, "But according to Livia, only two cultists intercepted them, and he killed one of them. I have just sent Jose and Litno there, and I believe there will be news soon."

Marco then breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, then looked at Livia, who looked a little weak.
